No, that is not necessary. On the appropriateness of the sites, I will use the example in Newtown Mount Kennedy, which is a rural site. That is replicated right across the State. Earlier the witnesses referred to other costs. Obviously there were the accommodation fees but there were also other costs. There was reference made to the cost for taxis. In rural settings, there would be a necessity to provide taxis. What other costs would be associated with this, other than the likes of taxis?
